Open Door Churches Newsletter Policy
The primary purpose of the Open Door Churches Newsletter is to inform both the wider public and the six Open Door congregations of pertinent news and events hosted by the Open Door Churches: United Methodists of Salem-Keizer. While individual church events may be included at times, those events will only be mentioned when the wider community is also invited to attend.
Each news item and event description must be written with the people who are not members of the United Methodist Churches in mind. When mentioned, full names must be used and any abbreviations spelled out. If the item is not written with the wider public audience in mind, the piece will be returned for a rewrite and only published when it meets these requirements.
If the article announces an event, include the name and contact information of a person who can provide further information and answer the public's questions.
